History

The founding date is unknown. In ancient times, it enshrined Miwa-no-Kami (Oonamamuchi-no-Kami) from Yamato and Tamayori-hime. It is said that during the time of Tadamitsu, the first head of the Shimazu clan, spirit tablets of Emperor Chouai, Emperor Nintoku, and Emperor Nintoku were enshrined alongside Empress Jingu, transferred from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. In the medieval period, it was the political center of Isasaku-sho and received reverence from the provincial lords. In 1909 (Meiji 42), several shrines were merged into this one.

Prayers for family safety are offered through the dedication of Yabusame (ceremonial horseback archery).

What visitors say

The approach features a magnificent avenue of camphor trees known as 'Senbon Kusunoki' (Thousand Camphor Trees). The precincts are clean and enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. During autumn, the ginkgo leaves covering the area are a highlight. Since the parking lot tends to get crowded, early arrival is recommended. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are provided as pre-written copies. The 'Otogge Ishi' stone is placed beside the worship hall.
